Something to remember as we gather on this Lord’s Day: Saints, the Lord loves you. He’s on your side. He is your shield and your banner. Game changer.

Smart people tend to underestimate the power of things like humor, story, and entertainment in persuasion and overestimate pure reason. If you want to win the fight for the American heart, you really do have to win in popular media.

You won't be really excellent at anything when you first start doing it—and don't let that stop you from starting. But you must aim for excellence from day one. Mediocrity isn't a Christian virtue. "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men..." -Col. 3:23
